Starfruit commented on Holliday's blog post Edmond Bordeaux Szekely on Milk, Yohgurt and Meat and the Future of the Vegetarian - Fruitarianism?"Well I know correlation ain't causation, and I never claimed. I clearly used cautious wording like "probably" to point out that it is marely a possibility.
Besides: according to the paper not the lactose alone but rather lactose in…"
Starfruit commented on Holliday's blog post Edmond Bordeaux Szekely on Milk, Yohgurt and Meat and the Future of the Vegetarian - Fruitarianism?"No, baboons are not humans, but they are a primate species.
Anyway, diseases of civilisation in the "west" are correlated with the consumption of milk.
Usually casein is suspected to be the culprit, but the culprit could very well be the…"

Starfruit commented on Holliday's blog post Low Protein Theory vs. High Protein Theory"Today I will have like 49g of whole protein, but also 3g of l-leucine and 3g of creatine. So it's like more, i guess.
50g is ok, not too low. "
Starfruit commented on Holliday's blog post Low Protein Theory vs. High Protein Theory"@Holliday Well, good for you. Just so out of curiosity: how low is low in your case?"
Starfruit commented on Holliday's blog post Low Protein Theory vs. High Protein Theory"No doubt the body can adapt to a certain extent to a lower intake of about everything.However, as with all attractor systems, there is a point where an attractor is left.Also, do not expect the mentioned beggars to be super athletes :DSo, if you…"

Starfruit replied to Dan Donovan's discussion Why do men on raw food diets have low body weight?"Are you not referring to raw vegans?
Because they think that their food is superior :D
Anyway. They get less high quality protein, waste more of their calories due to fiber. Have more antinutrients in their diets. And many more. "
Starfruit replied to Dan Donovan's discussion What do we do about overpopulation?"
Oh yes, the "science of trouble".
Now, I'm antinatalist, that's what I am doing about it. I will not produce humans. Life is the only true existing hell (of course, you have to come to realise). And, producing humans…"

Good Morning!

I am back to being me now, and pursing the life I have wanted and missed for so long. I am growing my holistics and massage practice in Coppell, TX, healing myself, and thriving! It looks like many of the folks I knew when I first truly embraced raw veganism are not around. I was…See More
